How many trips do you take a year?
I travel overseas 4-5 times.
What is your packing routine?
It is always my intention to travel light but I rarely succeed. However, with increased travel and more weight restrictions, I'm getting better.
What are your must-have carry-ons?
A book, skin moisturiser, socks, snacks, toiletries and a change of clothes in case my luggage gets lost.
What was your most eventful business trip?
My most memorable business trip was to Vinexpo wine exhibition in Bordeaux, France, where some 300 exhibitors showcased their wines and spirits, and it was mind-blowing. I thought I had died and gone to heaven.
Do you have an exercise routine?
What is it?
No! I don't like to exercise at all. But a good stretch after a flight works wonders for me.
Who was your most memorable seat mate?
I've had a few, but I prefer solitude on a flight.
Do you listen to airline radios?
Never, but I love airline TV.
What is your ideal business destination?
London; there is a level of punctuality, professionalism and courtesy there that is unmatched.
What is your favourite airport?
Heathrow.
What's the worst thing about all this travel?
Security checks and weight restrictions.
And the best thing?
The excitement of going somewhere else - even if it's the hundredth time I'm going, I'll find a new restaurant or clothes store to visit. Also, it is good to get out of Jamaica and clear your head; I always come back with new ideas.
Do you practise any jet-lag-busting activities?
I am blessed as I don't have jet-lag problems at all.
